Really appreciate having this exist! I found a sweet manual GTI (the plaid one, of course) seat in good condition so I actually mounted the seat rails to the chassis of the rig so I can move the seat back and forth so others can use my sim too, but I didn't have the slightest clue as to where to start in terms of actually building it until I saw this.

[@NewJerseyJay]

I don't have access to a seat, timber, steering wheel, pedals or a computer. Can you make a video showing how to make this setup without those items? Thank you

Nice job, Jeff! You've taken something that would've otherwise been left to collect dust in the corner of the garage and turned it into something everybody watching this video would be excited to try out. Very cool!

[@AndrewBrierley]

Glad I found this video again, after watching this last year I went to the wreckers and bought bucket seat from a Kia Cerato, bought the passenger seat because it was in excellent condition and only cost me $50, it is super comfortable and came with the rails which were all of similar height so no packing etc to make it fit on my frame. Been using it for a year now and the only change i have made it to remove the G29 pedals and invert them so they sit like a real car. Thank you for the inspiration. Total cost for a really good sim seat (Not included the logitec G29) was $50 seat plus $15 in timber.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Nice work. Glad you got some inspiration. Also good thing for me then that old 911's and Alfas have floor mounted pedals ;)

[@Mr76Pontiac]

I don't have a lot of room in my place for something like this to be stuffed in the corner of a room with its own dedicated monitor/PC and such full time, however, I'm going to be looking at building a SLIGHTLY different model of this setup. The table will be easily detachable, the seat easily removable and reusable as a normal chair while working at a work bench. The entire unit would have to come apart and stack in a corner somewhere like a utility closet, but it can easily come out and "play". AWESOME stuff here.

[@jados5504]

I really like this particular design, it's just simple and easy, other people put in complex angles and measurements, sure it looks nice but when it comes to functionality and ease of building this one takes the cake

[@lesdmark]

I think the Porsche seat really gives it that extra something you don't get in a store made one. Have a good new year!

[@voodoo7008]

The seat is everything, and it’s a Porsche seat. It really does not matter how simple a rig is, as long as you have the best fit possible, and can stand up to the rigors of sim racing, I’m handy enough to build a rig, but wanted a store bought rig, and a damn nice one I got. RSeat S2.

The pontiac has just been sitting in the yard until getting paid off and then going to a junkyard, so now ill have a use for the front seats and im stoked!

[@windtlker]

Thanks for the video! This gave me some nice ideas. I don't want to build such a huge thing with a dedicated seat. Instead, I plan to make only the "table" part. Then when not playing, I can easily store it in the living room as a regular table. I will also want to "extend" it from the sides, to have a cup holder on the left, and a place for a mouse/USB keypad on the right.

I had a leather chair and built a rig using this video. It worked out great! Thanks for the video!!

[@Nix-i5r]

Moin, you made a fine RIG there I'm more of a hobby at ACC at the Series X and just looked at what material had accumulated over the years. I built my RIG completely out of wood and this is what it looks like now. It only has to be filled and then painted black with orange accents. However, it has become quite massive (1.72 mx 1.20 m). I built in the Gamechair as only I am allowed to sit in it. So he didn't have to go on any rails. Unfortunately, the options on the XBox are very limited. I took the 3 vibrators + control from an old massage mat, screwed 2 of them into the seat and the third to the pedals. Connected via the subwoofer of the Gamechair. Not as optimal as on a PC, but the result is astonishingly good. Engine vibrations, curbs or gear changes are simulated well. I can proudly say that I have made something fantastic for me out of "junk in the basement". Except for a few corners, I had everything lying around. I think it's great when someone thinks about it and builds something for themselves. Anyone can buy ... 😄 Definitely a nice video of you with a great result. Here is a very short video of my RIG in its current state. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKakhXabbNlnjtU

[@OgamiItto70]

Dude! You've got a table RIGHT THERE!!! Put the wheel on the table, throw your seat/pedals assembly under it and use THAT to figure your distance, at least. Who knows, maybe you'll like the height, too. Of course, another way is to get a friend to hold that stuff for you while you do your measuring-tape thing. Pretty good low-budget deal, though.

[@jeffreymarshall6761]

I did this back in 95 with a ps2, before it was popular, built the wheel and pedal mounts on a wood platform, worked well, would love to buy one of these newfangled wheels theyre sellin now.

[@milanivanovic2197]

Thanks a lot. I found Alfa Romeo Gt seat, pair it with Logitech G29 and follow your instruction. I just reinforced structure with steel L shaped profile and it's good to go. I would suggest people to put little bigger table, mine is wider 5cm each side of structure and you get aditional space to put something. Your phone, joystick or keyboard. Once again thanks a lot. For curious, everything costed me (without seat which you can find for 20 euros and G29) around 30 euros in material. It is 2 hours of work if you are not skillful. Way less if you are. Go for it!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Nice! I made one the same way practically for free with pallet wood from my job. Lol. It cost me a total of 10 dollars, and that was just for the casters so I can roll it out of my way when I'm not using it.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Casters are a great idea. I assume you can lock them so when you get a bit vigorous you don't roll around.

[@mitchellvanvliet]

Keep it unlocked and you got a 10 dollar motion rig. Sweet

[@MrAudi220]

I basicly just did the same thing 2 days ago 😁 i had my thrustmaster t500rs wheel mounted to a wheel stand pro so that was the perfect way to start so i bought 3 garden poles.2poles are 9cm x 9cm x 240cm and 1 pole in size 7cm x 7cm x 240cm,i cut the big poles at a lenght of 150cm for the side of the rig,then i cut the left over pieces at 40cm this serves as the width of the rig(40cm is also the width of my wheel stand pro)as for seat i used my original audi s-line seat since i put recaro pole positions in my car.😉Then i cut the small pole in to 4x45cm to serve as table feet for my monitor,and just bought a dark oak wooden layer to put on top of it,and man it is stable,doesn't move a inch while racing while when i had my wheelstand pro when sitting in my couch it would contantly move around,i spend around 80euro worth of materials,and it's the best thing you can do if your handy and have the tools,i just didn't have a circle saw to cut everything so i sawed it manually other then that it took me about 5 hours to get it perfect how i wanted.

[@hickslightfoot]

Thats amazingly simple and prefect... I've always wanted to move up to a wheel instead of my curent hand controller... money was always holding me back but this might be just the ticket... thanks for the video...

[@eddiebaby22]

excellent job, so simple yet much better than anything expensive you buy from a retailer. Nice job.

[@indychow6320]

The tricky part about using a seat out of a real vehicle is finding one that will sit flat for you to bolt on to a board. Many or most dont have level anchor points. Also worth mentioning that you want a manual seat for a simple setup, since you wouldn't be able to adjust a power seat w/o rigging a power supply. In the end, I found a passenger seat out of a '98 Ford Windstar for $20 at the junkyard works great.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That is a very good point. I think if you can get one out of an older car, you have a much better shot. New cars have mounts all over the place.

[@indychow6320]

Home Built By Jeff when I was at the junkyard I had a hard time finding a seat with good mounts. Then I thought, what kind of vehicle has a flat floor? A van.

[@dazman6316]

Awesome. Son and I now have a new holiday project!! I'll send you pics once done!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That would be great, send them through.

[@Saabjock]

Good first try. I can see one potential issue with the pedal mounting. You'll need to place a securing bar across the end of the pedal assembly closest to the seat or they'll start to move upward under heavy braking. All in all, a good inexpensive rig.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I have many many hours of use and that has not been an issue so far, but it could potentially happen.

[@HepauDK]

I have made one myself from some boards from an old desk I had laying around. I haven't got a proper seat yet, so for now I am sitting on a kitchen chair. I made a plate with two holes for the front legs of the chair as a guide so that I can sit in the same position every time I need the setup, as it blocks the view from my bed. :P Update: just went out and bought a nice bordeaux leather seat from a '99 Alfa Romeo 156 4-door (passenger side) from the local salvage yard. Now to get it cleaned...

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I may do up a design for a simple set up, that can be pulled out and put away, but setting it up well really helps getting your lap times down.

[@HepauDK]

Home Built By Jeff Yes, at first, mine was a bit wobbly, but a vertical plate screwed to the sides and the top plate made all the difference. Now it is rock solid. I got the seat I bought earlier today cleaned and treated, now I only need to make a base and mount it to the rest of the rig.

[@Steve-K.G.]

Love this. Also love the double bass drumming in tandem with the feet on the pedals at about 2:35 - 2:40 :-)

[@cenzi]

Man, I've noticed that too! Awsome

[@Darwinion]

That actually looks pretty strong. Cheap as chips to make, especially as you had the seat already. I'm considering making my own and the only design change I'd make from yours is to make the front two supports under the wheel to come diagonally from the pedals. Should be just as strong and would make it easier to get in/out.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

As long as the angle wasn't too sharp. You could also just do that on one side, for easy access and keep the other straight for strength.

[@dreamz3034]

Oh wow that 911 is gorgeous

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

That is the idea. They don't have to be as complicated as people make them.

[@dandykoi]

Did ya build it?

[@Bandit-Darville]

I'm afraid that you'll soon find out that the wheel tends to slide on/off the table when you start to put some pressure on it. It's because of the clamping system Thrustmaster puts on their wheels. I have solved this problem by filing out two spaces on the bottom of the table where the two clamp ends touch the table. This way the clamp actually clamps into the desk about 3-4 mil which should be enough for handling any lateral movements. Ultimately you can also hard-mount it on the desk but then it becomes a bit of a nuisance if you want to quickly set up or put away the setup.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

As this is a designated rig, I will hard mount it when I finally get around to it ;)

[@Toutvids]

I've never had an issue with my wheel (Thrustmaster t150) not staying put, perhaps you're just not clamping it down tight enough? It's not fragile, put some force into it and it will actually dent soft wood.

[@ThePowerchimp]

Might help to pad any areas of contact with some small flat pieces of rubber. Rubber resists sliding generally, thats why you see it on the base of joysticks, pc cases etc.

[@princeedward7534]

Nice setup! It would be cool if you could have seat rails underneath the seat so you can adjust it

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It does ;)

[@f1thiingz464]

I wished i had a dad like this man

[@Triple88a]

Loving it, one thing i would have done different is mount the "table" part for the wheel on the outside of the base so you have more width.

[@supakat500]

Nice job. I recently made a sim for my son using PVC and a Chevy Sonic seat I pulled from the junkyard. Really helps when have to do endurance races on Forza 7.

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Nice one.

[@knchen]

the paint job made a world of difference

[@w5102274]

Very nice! You might wanna consider offsetting the legs of the table on the seat side a fee inches inward so you can get in and out easier, and shouldn't compromise the structure. Love your builds!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

It would make it a bit easier to get in and out, but now it is built I can't be bothered pulling it apart again. That would mean less time playing it ;)

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Hi. Got to use aluminum, the one used for curtain rails if you can't find a long, solid, sturdy aluminum bar.

[@Tetraden-a]

Dear Women: That thing on the back of a car seat is a back rest. It is very useful It assists your back with staying up in corners and when accellerating/brakang, so your muscles don't have to do the work. Also, the belt actively pulls you about 10 cm back in case of an accident, so you don't fly around inside the car. Guess what happens when you don't adjust the back rest and instead freely sit upright, 15cm away from it.

Similar equipment to mine, I also have a TMX, with the T3PA (TMX Pro Bundled Pedals) and the TH8A shifter. For a stand, I use a RIDGID Portable Work Support from Home Depot I got for $30. Yours looks a lot nicer, but I love being able to fold the stand and put it away with it taking minimum space, maybe in the future I'll consider making a whole setup like that.

I've forgotten that I've seen this video before and have already purchased a wheel stand for my VR Sim rig which cost me $150 and that was on sale. Not even a month later and it turned out to be a POS since it wobbles and the screws always come loose. Yeah, I could use loctite on the screws but the overall build quality and feel just isn't up to par. I'll definitely be selling it and either go the DIY route and make it looks really nice or go all out and save up for a more premium cockpit.

I think you can move to two post closest to the seat, forward towards to pedals about 12'' and it will be easier to get in and out, and still be just a stable.

[@jdmfreak22]

Nice gift, your wife is the best!!! Nice setup, simple and effective, love it. I hope the base for the wheel and TV is really sturdy. Once you get serious, between force feedback and brute Force (hehe), the table may shake a little when you're trying to catch the car before spinning or something like that, and you may find the TV shaking as well which is not good. Other than that, loved it! How comfortable is it to get in and out? I may take this simple idea of yours and try to replicate it in the near future!! Thanx for sharing, as always Jeff!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

I don't mind climbing into it. It is not too difficult and it feels like you are climbing into a race car. A few have mentioned the TV wobbling, but it hasn't actually been an issue for me. Some may wish to modify the design to personalise it a bit more like making it easier to get into, but this is a simple base to start your mods from.

Well this is way to go. i actually got to recycle an old Table and some poles from an old fence, and i made my own playseat so nice no more Anti slip mats for my pedals :D only thing left is the paint job and adding some side panels for other stuff ^^ thanks for this video u made almost 3 years ago XD if i could i'd show the end result
